Freshman lawmaker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dropped a hammer on Joe Lieberman on Thursday, after the onetime Democratic vice presidential candidate said he feared her brand of high-tax socialism could doom the party’s chances for long-term dominance in Congress.

The 29-year-old Ocasio-Cortez retweeted the 76-year-old’s sentiment with a four-word rejoinder: ‘New party, who dis?’

‘Who dis?’ is a common response to a text message from an unknown number. Among millennials in the smartphone generation, the phrase has morphed into a snarky tool for rejecting someone by framing their approach as a mistake.

Just a few weeks into the new Congress, Ocasio-Cortez is already causing heartburn among centrist Democrats who are wary of her unapologetic proposal to raise the top marginal income tax rate to 70 per cent.

Jim; I had a boat load of DEDICATED Democrats in my family until they voted for Donald J. Trump in 2016! Who NOW say: “I will NEVER vote for a Democrat again as long as I live”! My precious Grandfather was a devout Republican for all his 86 years! Never voted for a Democrat; Until he died! We HAVE no Democrat Party! They are all New World Order puppet slaves, being directed by foreign and domestic enemies who are daily annihilating the goose that lays the golden eggs! Which they are using to make their omelets, thinking the GEESE will remain compliant! Including putting them in a dark room, turning the light on twice daily, causing them to lay twice! These rabid radicals, if left to their own “depraved & devious devices” will forever change our beloved country for the worst! THEN, sell to the highest bidder (we all KNOW who/what THAT will be) thinking they will be applauded and rewarded! AND will THEN find they’ve accomplished their goal for the NWO cabal, and THEIR goose will be cooked! ALL; Will then “exit” stage LEFT with nothing to show for their loyalty! Everyone in the “Diaper and Depend Brigade” will become history! O’B was the FIRST puppet and look where our country was taken by those who bought HIS loyalty!

Wait a minute Jim I’m from the Bronx and I resent that comment; oh wait! You are correct, the old working class dems are long gone and have been replaced by mostly “Victims” who can be bought by any left wing nut who will promise them Free Stuff.

Ms. Tomlin thank you ma’am I can only hope there are millions of remaining democrats who feel as you stated your family were. Although I still see too many comments being made by so called democrats that are still following their madness along with the corrupt media, who in in my opinion are the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE, just as stated by the President. If they weren’t then they would report the news to the people & not give their opinion/views!. They along with 98% of college professors are destroying our young minds & in doing so our nation!!!

Agreed, ltuser.

I want to see the death certificate and the tombstone.

And it needs to be a real death certificate, not a “certificate of live death”, made by the Obama Photoshop Corporation.

With how dems, seem to get people to vote for them, even when death, just having the death certificate means nuthin.. GOTTA strike them from the voter rolls as well!

She IS the democrat party as “the future” is here now. There are enough deadbeats, illegal aliens, and morons in the country to ensure that an even larger blocs of democrat votes will keep electing imbeciles like hank johnson, Jackson-Lee, and a host of other illiterate idiots. In the not to distant future, the “secession” movement will start stirring again, for sure.

Speaking in generalities, there have been ignorant, disrespectful women and men in most political parties – that we continue to deal with. The contention is real! The answer is no!: Can America afford to adopt anyone’s brand of socialism!

This self-promoting Socialist will get her come-uppins soon enough! The only people who will sign on to her philosophy are those who want free stuff, have little ambition and are probably still living w Mom & Dad! It’s a historical fact, socialism doesn’t work for the long run. All it will accomplish is to bankrupt this country, probably beyond redemption and drive the wealthy who in reality pay 90% of this county’s taxes out of this country, leaving the rest of us to live in give run “concentration camps” toiling away for the meager govt handouts still available. ACO’s ideas are a recipe for disaster proven time and time again by others who have tried variations of her anti-capitalist utopia!

Well, jimbo999, I agree with everything you say, except that Lieberman was Obama’s Vice President. That was CREEPY “Uncle Joe” Biden. But you ARE right about Occasional-Cortex being the female version of Barry Obama. That is EXACTLY what she is! Her snarky, mocking tone toward ANYBODY who disagrees with her is EXACTLY the way Barry behaved, and still DOES.

But even BARRY was not as IGNORANT of history and CLUELESS about what America is and should be, as THIS clueless dolly. She is the POSTER CHILD for what the damned Leftist LOONS have done to our educational system–ignorant, history-challenged and CLUELESS, but with a MASSIVE sense of entitlement and delusions of superiority!

Oleteabag, remember barry’s Comment of there being 57 or 58 states when he first ran for president. And he didn’t even know how to pronounce corps (core) as in the Marine Corps. He kept referring to the branch as Corpse. Not ignorant?

I agree with you, jatondon, but the Dems would not.

Joe Lieberman was the last Dem I had any respect for, and they kicked him out of the Party for making too much sense. It’s all about AOC and Beta these days.

Every Dem in DC has disrespect for JL, and doesn’t deserve to draw breath.

I don’t agree with anything this lady stands for, but on the other hand, regarding Lieberman’s statement….I have to ask exactly why is it that I would ever want the Democrats to have “long term dominance”?….is it because they want higher taxes and more regulation than we have right now… but maybe just not as high as Obliterated Cortex wants…at least for the moment?

Maybe I want the Democrats to have “long term dominance” because they seem to be in agreement that open borders are a good thing for this nation? Hhhhmm…nope, don’t think that’s a good reason either.

Maybe it’s because the Democrats think controlling my life in the name of “climate change” is why I should give them authority over my life? Ya know, that just doesn’t sound too appealing either.

Perhaps it is because the Democrats want to force everyone…except the liberal elite, of course….into single payer health care. Does anyone believe that an average 85 year old with lung cancer would be given the same level of care as Ruth Ginsburg…or would they be told, “Too bad. You’re not important enough to worry about saving.”

I think we know the answer to that one too. So ya know Joe, I’m having a really hard time coming up with any reason why I think your side having “long term dominance” would be a good thing for me… or any other average American…in any respect.

“Obliterated Cortex”!! That is absolutely priceless! May I have permission to use it? (PS: I’m not normally given to name-calling, but in the case of this ignorant woman with her poorly thought out, emotion-driven, historically destructive socialist ideas, I make an exception. She is a danger to the life and values of this country, and even the Democrats are wary that they may have a loose cannon on their hands.)

The big problem with her, Divinggets, is that the “youth” for whom she seems to have MASSIVE appeal, are JUST as clueless and IGNORANT of this country’s history and heritage as SHE IS–thanks to a lifetime of RELENTLESS indoctrination in the Leftist LOON-controlled schools and colleges–so they will NEVER understand just how STUPID and clueless she truly is, and will follow this mentally-challenged “Pied Piper” right OVER the cliff into Socialism like the brain-dead LEMMINGS they are!

OC is pretty typical of young people today. She is too stupid to understand that all her thoughts were put into her empty head by liberal teachers. She has never had an original thought in her life – she is nothing but programmed responses – a lot like a paramecium.

She is a spoiled snowflake who has no concept of western civilization or how western economics works. She like many other snowflakes do not understand the meaning of work other than it is something for others to do and then tax them and then give it to those who choose not to work. The lazy ones want others to work while her brand sits on their lazy behinds receiving checks in the mail and then complaining about why they are not lavished in more rewards for being lazy. If one refuses to work, they should be allowed to choose to make that choice and its consequences. If they don’t like those choices and its consequences, they should take their ideas and go to a country that can provide them those choices. I wish them well in that country. Maybe they should consider Venezuela. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

If she really wants to represent the people of her district she needs to shut up, stay off TV shows, and get to doing some real work. I seriously doubt she does want to represent the people of her district. She wants to represent herself, her ideas, and get her special treatment and ‘star’ status by doing the talking heads circuit and being in the news.

A waitress from the Bronx doesn’t impress me much with her socialism. She apparently slept through any Civics classes she was required to sit through. They brag about her college degrees, but she is sure stupid. I wonder if her daddy paid off the colleges to get her a diploma. Or maybe she was somebody’s “Monica”.

We have allowed the politicians to get totally out of control in the past 10 yrs… From the guy, they just buried to that lady from CA screaming and acting foolish on TV regarding Trump we should have stopped that mess then. J Edgar Hoover would never have allowed any of the crap.

This woman and countless more like her are programmed humanoids, not real humans. Hence, she is not sick, deranged, uninformed, naïve or just plain stupid. She is absolutely normal. These humanoid vermin are infectious. Sooner or later the rest of us will understand what it takes to keep real humans, not ideologues on any side, safe. But it may already be a little too late.

They say Trump wants to be a dictator, but look at their actions. What they want is to have total control over our lives, where we are “allowed” to live, (state housing) where we are “allowed” to work, (free college means limited access to certain programs) how much we are “allowed” to earn, (social classification, your parents status will determine your ability to move up) who is worthy of heath care, (look how it is now, athletes and politicians are injured and having surgery within a couple of days, we on the other hand have to suffer for months before our insurance deems us worthy of having surgery after a dozen test that take months to complete, if we qualify, does it matter that we are in pain for months or years while the “worthy ones” get fixed before we can be seen by a Dr at times) “allowed” to own a gun, (good luck if you are not police or military) and they call Trump Hitler.

Agreed! The Leftists are total control freaks taking their cues from Stalin’s Russia. And the stupid sheep on the left can’t or don’t want to see it because brainwashed people forget how to think for themselves.

Exactly. Can you imagine if it was YOU or my grandma, same age as RBG, who got found to have those cancerous tumors, would THEY have been seen, treated so swiftly, as RBG was??
IMO, hell no they wouldn’t have.

Cortez is proof positive that the ballot box no longer works and that NYC is the breeding grounds for maggots like her. Check out the Mayor of NYC. DeBlassio is preaching the same thing. Who do you think put this elitist communist in office?

We need to put security around our towns and keep anyone from NYC out.

AOC is like a puppy that the Dems got for Christmas. Cute until it started to $#!+ all over the carpet, chew their shoes and continuously yap both day and night.
It’s past time they house train her and find a muzzle.

Hey, Lieberman! You weren’t too worried about crazed socialists taking over your precious democrat party when you voted for Obamacare (i.e. socialized medicine). So now that your party is going all-out/full commie, all of a sudden you’re worried? WE reap what YOU sowed, comrade.

Socialist-Democrats have a poster child for their platform and policies–it’s this crazed, wild-eyed radical who is doing more for the Republicans and conservatives than they have done. She attacks Democrat icons like Joe Lieberman, and pontificates on every topic for which she purports to be an expert, but is in essence, ignorant.

Completely lacking is Cortez’s knowledge of free markets and capitalism. Socialism-Communism has never succeeded. It eventually fails, as Fidel Castro admitted when he fired 300,000 Cubans from their lifelong jobs with the government and told them to go raise rabbits. I hope all the false news propaganda purveyors–MSM–continue to give Alexandria all the broadcast time they can, and continue to ask her about the economy, employment levels, open borders, Islamic terrorism, the Democrat leadership, workman’s comp for her campaign employees, and other questions of interest to the American people.
